One day in the 20th century, it is said that technology is very advanced, but people still miss the golden years of the past in old movies, but after the TV is turned off, they still have a numb face. Although the main character Sam's house is automated everywhere, there are many mistakes. There are Hollywood beauty posters from the 1920s and 1930s on the wall. It is not a face that has undergone plastic surgery, and even aging is just a natural law.
The terrifying scene was finally seen. Women resorted to all possible means to self-mutilate for beauty, and men sold everything for power. In that world, it was so rigid that even ordering food had to be ordered by the number, and it was normal to encounter a terrorist attack while eating. Even if the person next to him was injured and died, he would continue to eat the disgusting things on his plate, even if the band played. A cheerful tune begins...
Sam is flying freely in his dream, along with a peaceful and beautiful paradise and a mysterious dream goddess, and suddenly a stone forest rises from the ground, and even the only spiritual home is destroyed by the so-called technological progress.
Rules form, on the surface, society acts according to the form, behaves according to the rules, a ruthless official document destroys the warm family, no one thinks why, but just shirk responsibility.
In the film made in 1985, the future was a certain year in the 20th century. Now it seems that it is already a reality. Coincidence is still inevitable. Anyway, everything fits so well. Acknowledging that there is no such thing as a circle without rules, there is no absolute freedom in the first place, but too many rules have exhausted the natural character, and even children cannot escape the poison.
The so-called "celestial kingdom" lies not enough to fool people. The humans in "The Martian Playing on the Earth" are self-righteous, good at political games, full of lies, benevolence, righteousness, morality, male thieves and female prostitutes, when foreign enemies invade Vulnerable, any great invention and advanced technology is just a trick in the eyes of Martians. Ironically, it is the music that the elderly who have been abandoned into the nursing home love to listen to the final defeat of the aliens. These things that have been abandoned by the so-called progress of civilization are our most precious things.
The iron giant that Sam was fighting in his dream revealed that it was actually himself. It seemed that he would become a slave to the institution in the future, and the little bit of conscience that had not yet disappeared was constantly fighting with himself in reality.
In the end, even Sam was locked up as a terrorist. The one who tortured him was actually a good friend, but the one who rescued him was a terrorist wanted by the government. He did not want to resist but was forced to resist. He pressed the switch of the bomb, and the government building It was razed to the ground, and the bullshit documents were scattered all over the sky, but it was just a pile of waste paper. Passersby who are accustomed to self-sweeping and frosting don't pay attention to what happened...
I thought there would be a happy ending after the tragic passing, and I saw the picture of leaving with my lover, but in the end... I
believe that the future is a bright road Is tortuous, believe that human nature is inherently good, why is it so cruel to destroy all good ideas, even though knowing it is just deceiving oneself.
